Dun/chocolate and dun sumatras

Not really, not thats available. Maybe if you search really hard you can find someone who still has Khaki or Dun Sumatras to use. Dun patterned Phoenix would be the next thing but you're probably not going to find any of them. Boggy Bottom Bantams has a Khaki Duckwing Phoeinix pullet from Toni-Marie Astins stock but he will be using her to make more dun patterned birds an probably wont have anything from them to sale for a while. So the dun OEs are probably going to be the closest thing you can get in the dun color.

Boggy Bottom Bantams also has Blue Sumatra bantams if you dont have them already.

you could use chocolate (dun) polish

and get crested sumatras

Serama are one of the few breeds in the US that carry the choc gene. That said, they may also carry dun; not certain on that, but I do know they have choc.

Awhile back I thought there was a man that imported or had Choc Seramas his name is Jerry. Don't know if I can post last names,but I read this some time ago. Mike

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

yes; that is where they came from.

its already in serama, Jerry has them, i have a few variations of them from him, i know a handful of breeders do, i would start there.. try to avoid crossing out to OEGB or any other breed

Yep you can post last names but spelling Jerry's last name is the problem lol I still cant remember it unless I see it.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

It starts with an S and ends with an r, and there are lots of consonants and a very few vowels in between. I can't SAY it, much less spell it, so I don't even try. If you say Jerry the serama guy, most folks will know who you mean.

Now I need GOOD quality OEGB's, anyone who has them or know someone who has them please let me know.

Acutually you dont, if you are just wanting to breed the dun gene into the Sumatras then any quality birds that have the gene will do. I think if I were doing it I would acutally want to use lower quality OEs that would have lower tail sets since Sumatra tails dont really raise up, they just go straight out and down. And good quality OEGBs should have higher tails so I would say just order you some dun or fawn ducking OEGBs from Ideal and use them. The fawn duckwings are Dun by the way, they are Silver Duckwing with Dun instead of black.
